What container would you store 5 lbs of coffee beans in? These beans are "bigger" than 5 lbs of flour.

I place them in quart size freezer containers and place them in my freezer until needed

This IS a big bag!I put some in an old 2 lb. Starbucks coffee bag, then store the rest in the garage freezer in Zip Loc bags until I use them. The bag itself is larger than 5 lb. of flour--maybe not as big as a 10 lb. bag.

I have several 3-pound coffee cans (metal). The coffee remains fresh for as long as I need to keep it. Even the coffee oils stay. About the longest I have kept coffee this way is about a month.

We just store ours in the bag it comes in with a clip. It is about the same size as a 5lbs bag of flour...

I use 3 to 4 Tupperware like containers to store the coffee. My feeling is that by using only one container at a time it helps the beans stay fresh. I drink a lot of coffee so it takes about 1 month to polish off all five pounds.

We just take out about a lb at a time and put it in a plastic refrigerator box and store the rest in the bag in the freezer

I always store mine in a hermetic jar and don't notice a significant deterioration in the quality by the time I get to the last beans. Americas Test Kitchen has recommendations regarding storing coffee so whatever works best for you.

Dear Careful Customer: Just for you, I measured bread flour by the leveled-off cup into the smallest of these canisters (the turquoise colored one). It held exactly 5 cups.

I fill the top part full and that's enough for 5 cups. The holder is a little over half full so it probably would hold 9-10. That's a rounded tablespoon per cup of coffee.

Largest holds a small bag of flour, 4-5 lbs., next size about 3-4 lbs of sugar. The next two sizes are a nice size for tea and coffee. They are a true coke cola red. Hope that helps you decide.

Assuming you care about getting the best flavor in your brew, don't store beans in the hopper. Keep them in an air-tight, light-proof container.

1.5 lbs of flour is about max but smaller is better- otherwise the shape gets a little odd.

You can use a 1 cup measure in all of the canisters besides the small. Yes, the 2ND large can hold a 4lb bag of sugar. I haven't used my largest for flour but I can confidently say it will hold most, if not all

Storage is very important. I store beans & legumes 2 ways: in the cupboard using Snapware containers (I believe that a 17 cup one will hold the 5 lbs of lentils. Then there is the less than glamorous way using a food safe bucket with a gamma lid. I use both methods because I buy 20 lbs of soybeans at a time for soy milk. Beans that I only buy little bits of, and don't use all that often get put into a Ziploc and, after a trip to the freezer, find themselves dumped into the bucket along with the soybeans. I have a smaller canister that I keep soybeans at hand in. As for the jute bag question: not. There is, however a plastic bag inside of the jute bag but once you've opened it, you will really want to put them into something airtight.

I can easily store 250g of coffee beans in mine, but could not store 500g maybe 350 ? Hope this helps

Sorry. I don't know. We use ours to store coffee beans and are very pleased with it.

Based upon a bag of coffee beans weighing three pounds that I bought at Costco, I would say each of my two containers hold about 1 and 1/4 pounds. I had about one-half of a pound left over in the coffee bag after filling two Vacu Vin containers. I think that is a fairly accurate estimate. Ground coffee may differ. Hal

The transparent plastic basket that sits atop the grinder will hold approximately 10 ounces of coffee beans, perhaps a little more. That's enough for a few pots of coffee before having to refill the basket.

well my partner and i go through a 4 pound bag usually in a months time,we havent had to store it but i would put it in a dry air tight jar maybe 1/2 gallon mason jars away from sunlight. this is the best deal and a super good flour!the best actually :)

All my recipes are different but, most of them (using 5-6 cups flour) make 2 nice loaves in these 1.5 lb. pans. I prefer bigger loaves for sandwich making.

According to my information, 5 pounds of all-purpose flour is just over 18 cups so I guess this container comes up a bit short. I have to say, though, it's one of the best containers I have used. It seals well. It will keep your flour dry and free from "varmints". I use the container for a 1 pound box of soda crackers. It is perfect for 4 of those "sleeves" that come in the box. Suggestion: make some biscuits and then store the remaining flour in one of these Lock & Lock's. It's a great container.

The best way to keep ground coffee or whole beans fresh is to store the coffee on a pantry shelf in an opaque airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture, says Scott McMartin, who has tasted more than half-a-million cups of coffee as a member of the Starbucks Green Coffee Quality group.
